Approve/Accept Parts
Explanation
Use this activity to approve/accept
parts that have been inspected and found to be as desired. The entire number of
inspected parts will be available to be accepted and approved to be moved into
stock, if handling inventory parts.
Prerequisites
- The parts must have been reported as arrived in
Register
Arrivals.
- The receipt line must have an inspection demand, either an
inspection code or a quantity manually specified in the receipt function.
- The receipt line should be in status To be Inspected.
- IFS/Quality
Management must have been installed to be able to use control plans, enter detailed
analysis results, and to use SPC (Statistical Process Control).
System Effects
The inspection result is reported and the number of inspections
is increased (+1) every time an inspection is performed. The combination of the quantity
inspected and the number of inspections helps you when evaluating inspection/re-inspection
for a receipt line. A receipt line with inventory registered purchase parts receives the
status To be Received when the entry of inspection result is completed. This order is
ready to proceed in the work flow.
Non-inventory registered purchase parts and no-number parts
acquires the status Received. For receipt lines with these parts the receipt is completed.
If you are using IFS/Quality Management in the receipt
process, and if you have scrapped or returned any parts before an analysis is created, the
quantity to inspect indicated on the
Receipt window
will be re-calculated based on the quantity available at the time you create a new
analysis. Any existing analyses will not be affected.
